Walker said that after the crash, one of the wings of the plane dragged thecar in front of her and slammed it into a wall.
“It’s seconds that separated us from the car in front of us. The wing pulverised this one car,” the witness said.
The plane was spotted by Walker and her friendmoments before it crashed on the highway and gave her friend a chance to pull over the car before the crash.
“The plane was over our heads by inches. It took a hard right and skid across the highway,” said Walker.
Speaking further Walkersaid, she saw an explosion of flames after which the plane burst with a loud boom and its pieces littered the highway.
“It feels unreal, like a movie. It was seconds between us dying,” she said.

The plane had departed at about 1 pm (local time) from an airport at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio and was scheduled to land in Naples when the crash happened, said Naples Airport Authority spokesperson Robin King.
The tower was contacted by a pilot, who had requested an emergency landing and said that they had lost both engines. After this, the tower lost contact and then airport workers saw the smoke rise from the interstate, a few miles away.
King said that fire trucks, which had special foam, were sent to the scene of the accident and three people were rescued alive from the plane.
